We are unable to hold dogs due to our small size. Dogs coming into us are coming from local shelters that are euthanizing for space so holding a dog for an extended period does not allow another dog to be saved.

Dogs must not be left crated for more than 8 hours.
If you have a current pet, they must be up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered. This includes cats. Dogs must have annual vet exams.
If renting, approval from the landlord is required to keep the dog on the premises.If you have a current dog, your pet must meet the new pet before the adoption is finalized to make sure they will be compatible to live together. You will bring your dog to our facility for the meet. We cannot travel to you.If you adopt from Fetch A Friend Rescue and you cannot keep the pet for any reason, you must return the animal to Fetch A Friend Rescue. There is no guarantee that because you apply for the dog that you are going to adopt that dog. We seriously consider all applications but if we should suggest another dog for your home, it is because we truly know these dogs and possibly there is another dog that is a better fit. We strive for as best of a match as possible. Proper placement takes into consideration many things, including size, male/female, activity level, children and ages of the children, fencing or lack of, amount of time dog will spend home alone, and many other considerations. When a dog is posted we may receive up to 50 applications in a matter of hours. You will receive an email if selected to come and meet this dog.

ABOUT ME!: Adorable brindle boy Gus is the sweetest boy who just wants to please his people and play with all of the dogs he can! This boy came to us very shy back in December and was quickly adopted. But was then recently returned to us. He has really blossomed into a super social dog who loves daycare and plays well with dogs of all sizes. He has never met another dog he didnt like! He is definitely a friend to all and even does well with cats! Gus is seeking an active dog owner who understands how much exercise and daily enrichment a young athletic dog requires. This guy does not want to sit home alone all day being bored. Gus wants to be out on hikes, going to daycare, and getting his daily mental enrichment treats and toys. He unfortunately was not getting these things in his home and was chewing things he should not have. Gus absolutely needs to be crated when he is home alone for his own safety. He is perfectly content in his crate with his durable toys and does great. Gus is housebroken, incredibly loveable, and would do best in a home without small kids. Their loudness and quick movements scare him. Gus loves women and will need a female owner. He is terrified of men and will avoid them at all costs. He is a sensitive soul who will cower when a voice is raised. Gus just wants stability, routine, belly rubs, kisses, and doggy friends to be happy!
Gus is neutered, heart worm negative, current on all vaccinations, microchipped, and on parasite prevention.

WEIGHT: 50 Pounds
BREED: American Bully

DIET: Purina Pro Plan
IS A FENCED YARD REQUIRED: No
ABOUT ME!: Tubbs is quite possibly one of the most wonderful dogs we have ever met! This beautiful girl came to us with quite a sad past. She was rescued from life on a chain in a backyard. This was after her "owner" was shot and killed in front of her. Tubbs was taken to a shelter and had a couple of lumps removed that were found to be mast cell cancer. She was able to have all of it removed and is cancer free! The vet said it is unlikely to come back within the next 5 plus years but it is unknown. Aside from all of this, Tubbs is quite possibly the happiest, sweetest girl on the planet. All she wants is love and cuddles from anyone who will sit with her. She adores kids, is a relatively low maintenance dog, is totally house trained, crate trained, loves having a huge bed and lots of stuffies to snuggle with, and enjoys walks! Tubbs has hip dysplasia and has been working on losing weight since her arrival. She will need to remain on a healthy diet, and kept well exercised. She cannot get overweight for the sake of her hips. Allowing her to get overweight will only shorten her life and cause her pain. Tubbs cannot jump up due to this and therefore cannot do stairs, or jump into vehicles, on the couch/bed etc. Nor does she jump up on people. Tubbs gets around great and can play hard and wrestle with other dogs. Despite loving other dogs, Tubbs is very jealous of other dogs sharing attention with her humans and wants their lap all to herself. She will do best as the only dog in the home for this reason. She also deserves all the love in the world and should have it! We adore this girl VERY much and hope she finds the most perfect home ever. She deserves endless love and spoiling(just not in the form of food!)
Tubbs is very much a velcro dog and will follow you anywhere. She was a huge hit at our golf tournament being carried by all of the groups of men and soaking up so much love.
Tubbs is spayed, heart worm negative, current on all vaccinations, microchipped, and on parasite prevention.

ABOUT ME!: Ruby is a loving, loyal and gentle girl who loves to play and snuggle. She is great with children and other dogs. Ruby was adopted from us at the end of 2021 as a puppy but due to no fault of her own lost her home through a life change for her family. Ruby arrived to us in pretty rough shape with a horrible case of mange that took many months to treat. She will need to remain on her flea/tick prevention monthly to keep her skin clear. She will go home with her remaining supply of this as well. Ruby lived with small children and a small cockapoo. She would do best in a home with another dog. Ruby will need to be crated when home alone as she becomes anxious when left alone. She does not try to break out of her crate though and is comfortable in it. Ruby is used to sleeping in bed with her humans at night and has always done so since she was a puppy. Ruby is strong girl who does not realize the strength in her small body, she walks very well on a leash and requires daily exercise and long walks or runs. She was accustomed to going 4 miles every day with her family. Ruby will need a cat free home as she views them as prey. Ruby is a people dog and does not enjoy being tied outside and left for long periods of time. She enjoys being with people or other dogs and loves having the run of the fenced yard here with her doggy friends. Ruby is housebroken, does very well riding in the car, and is looking for a family to love her, hopefully with kids and other dogs!
Ruby is spayed, heart worm negative, current on all vaccinations, microchipped, and on parasite prevention.

LUCY
(ADOPTED)
AGE: 5 Years DOB- 12/27/18
SEX: Spayed Female
WEIGHT: 50 Pounds
BREED: Golden Retriever
CAN I LIVE WITH DOGS: Yes- my size and up preferably male
CAN I LIVE WITH CATS: Unknown Yet
CAN I LIVE WITH KIDS: Yes 5 and up
DIET: Purina One Lamb and Rice
IS A FENCED YARD REQUIRED: Yes, 6 feet minimum and no invisible fences.
ABOUT ME!: Pretty Lucy was being sold at a local garage sale for $100 by her Amish breeder who no longer had use for her. They said she was a terrible mother and always anxious when she had a litter. Lucy spent her life chained to a wooden box outside. She has never lived inside of a home or known what love is and how to be a normal dog. She didn't know what a leash was, a being in a car, toys are still confusing to her as well. Lucy will need a patient owner who will understand all of this and give Lucy the time she needs to learn. She will require routine and consistency to learn house breaking, and just being a dog that can let loose and play. She is very submissive and does well with other dogs who are not climbing all over her and in her face a lot. That makes her very nervous and flatten on the ground with fear. Because of her nerves Lucy is a flight risk and will need a home with a securely fenced yard. She does not know how to go potty on a leash and wants the freedom to explore the fenced yard until she figures out to go. She can climb chain link so unfortunately she will need a more secure fence or an owner that will never leave her unsupervised in the yard. She is a clever girl who knows how to open latches/gates so she should be securely crated when home alone. Until she feels secure and has learned routines she would likely scavenge for food if loose in the home without anyone home.
Lucy loves affection and kisses and hugs. She is very good with kids and would do well in the home with them.
Lucy is now spayed, heart worm negative current on all vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, and on parasite prevention.
